Honouring the National Day for Reconciliation
National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a day for Canadians to commemorate the history and legacy of the residential school system. It's a day to honour the resilience, dignity and strength of survivors and remember the children who never came home. It's a chance to engage and educate people about B.C.'s colonial history and how it has and continues to impact Indigenous communities.
Committed to its own reconciliation journey and to supporting others with theirs through education, the BC Chamber of Commerce invites you to "Embracing Truth: Honouring the National Day for Reconciliation", a virtual event that will provide perspective, enable understanding and encourage reconciliation and collaboration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities in British Columbia.
We are pleased to welcome Chris Sankey, Indigenous Affairs & Economic Reconciliation Advocate as our guest speaker for the event. Tickets are complimentary, with an opportunity to donate to the Indian Residential School Survivors Society.
